If you're single in New York, there's a good chance you're constantly reminded that the ratio of women to men favors the latter.
Unless you go to The Flatiron Room, a new music lounge and cocktail bar with more than 500 types of whiskey.
To celebrate its soft opening, we asked bartender Nick Patton (two words: British accent) to share a few of his favorite drink recipes. He gave us a tried-and-true Gold Rush (above, great to make in big batches should you be partying or tailgating) and the bar's knock-you-over 1920s cocktail.
Both are dangerously easy and satisfying, whether you fancy yourself a whiskey drinker or not (though one visit to Flatiron and you will be).
Just remember a little liquid courage goes a long way.
The Flatiron Room, 37 West 26th Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues (212-725-3860 or theflatironroom.com).
You spent a month waiting for your reservation at the latest farm-to-table spot, then proceeded to feast only upon your phone. Needless to say, it was an unsatisfying meal for everyone.
Before suffering through one more course of CrackBerry, whet your appetite on the new Windows Phone. A liberating alternative to life-napping tech, its smartly designed interface contains Live Tiles that deliver everything you need (Facebook, e-mail, appointments, music, etc.) up front, sans frantic scrolling and searching.

Blind dating. Speed dating. Online dating. You've tried everything in your shameless quest to find the perfect man.
So you'll totally relate to When in Rome. The new film stars Kristen Bell as an ambitious, relationship-challenged New Yorker who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome. There she defiantly steals coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of the men who threw them in.
Her new suitors include a sausage magnate (Danny DeVito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett), and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, she'll have to determine if it's the work of the coins or the real thing.
Which is still easier than online dating.
When in Rome opens this Friday. Check local listings for showtimes.

|Go Directly to the Schedule
Welcome to WTJU's 2004 Classical Music Marathon, December 5-12. Please accept our holiday gift of the finest in classical music with WTJU's annual Classical Music Marathon, Dec 5-12. This year we are featuring music from all around the world, but we'll also play some early music, some chamber works, a few less well known pieces, and some unusual groupings of old favorites as well. Add two operas as different stylistically as can be imagined and you have a feast for all classical music lovers. So if you are a long time loyal listener we hope you will spread the word and invite your friends to join in this year's festive celebration.
This is also an occasion to ask for your financial support. All of WTJU's announcers are volunteers, and keeping a non-commercial station on the air 365 days a year is expensive. Our facility is provided by the University of Virginia, but we are responsible for the lion's share of our operating budget, which comes primarily from the generosity of you, the listeners, and from our underwriters. Classical music first aired on WTJU in 1957: support the radio station that has consistently brought locally-produced classical programming to Central Virginia for forty-seven years.
Our goal for this fund drive is $30,000. So while you are enjoying this year's celebration of classical music, please remember what WTJU means to you all year long and consider making a generous year end pledge of $100 or whatever you can give to support the mission of WTJU. You may call 434-924-3959 during the Marathon, but why not mail a pledge form now? Then sit back and enjoy all the great shows that are coming your way.
Special thanks to Catherine Wray, Ilona Kastenhofer, and Winston Barham for their assistance enabling this week of great classical music.
And thanks again to you. Enjoy the Marathon!
Best wishes,
Tim Snider
Classical Director

The Calhoun-Cleburne Mental Health Board, based in Anniston, approved on Tuesday the construction of a 16-bed, 7,810 square-foot facility in Alexandria on U.S. 431. Called a designated mental health facility, the center will provide long-term care for court-committed, non-criminal patients. The facility is part of a state plan to close or downsize its large mental hospitals and open smaller community-based centers, which some mental health experts say are more cost effective and provide better care.
Mickey Turner, executive director of the Mental Health Board, said construction will begin next week and has a March 1, 2014, completion date. Turner added that the board will hire 20 employees to staff the 24-hour-a-day facility, including registered nurses, therapists and a part-time psychiatrist. The facility will be located on property the board already owns, in front of two houses used in the care of developmentally disabled patients. The facility will treat patients exhibiting symptoms such as major depression, suicidal tendencies or erratic behavior.
Turner said he did not yet have a cost estimate for the facility. The Alabama Department of Mental Health received an extra $13.5 million for the 2014 fiscal year from the state Legislature to pay for several of the new facilities in the northern part of the state.
The facilities are necessary in part because the state closed Searcy Hospital in Mount Vernon and Greil Montgomery Psychiatric Hospital late last year due to budget deficits. Also, services are being scaled back at Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa and North Alabama Regional Hospital in Decatur. However, the smaller, community-based centers are also part of a trend in mental health care across the country, Turner said.
"It's more cost-effective for the state, more cost-effective for the community and there is more family support, which is vital," Turner said.
Turner said that in many cases, local patients sent to one of the state's mental hospitals tend to return there just a few months after being released. The board's goal is to treat patients committed to the facility by the courts for between two to three weeks. Meanwhile, patients in immediate crisis will be treated there between four to seven days until they are stabilized. After they're released, the facility's patients will receive continued treatment through one of the board's outpatient programs at its main facility in Anniston.
Lt. Jon Garlick, mental health officer for the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office, said the county has a vital need for the new facility, especially since the closing of the state hospitals.
"It's a necessity ... if we don't have this then we'll have more mentally ill in jail," Garlick said.
Garlick said he traditionally averages 15 petitions per month for patients in need of emergency mental care, half of whom are sent for outpatient care at the county mental health department and the other half for inpatient care at a state mental hospital. Garlick said he also has an average of seven patients each month who must be hospitalized at RMC.
"Now with this facility opening, I'll send as many as I can there and the overflow to RMC," Garlick said.
Alice Martin, Calhoun County probate judge, who gives orders to commit patients to mental health facilities after a petition is filed, said she was pleased the county was gaining the new facility.
"There is a tremendous need for our local patients who need inpatient treatment," Martin said. "I'm very thankful this location has been secured."
Martin said that on average, she holds five hearings each week for mental health commitment petitions. The majority of those petitions result in court-ordered outpatient treatment at the mental health department for the person in question.
The board had originally planned to locate the facility in a residential neighborhood on Leighton Avenue in Anniston, due in part to the site's proximity to Regional Medical Center. However, the Anniston Planning Commission in August voted not to rezone the location for the facility, after some residents voiced concerns about safety.
Garlick said having the facility in Alexandria instead will not be much of a problem. As mental health officer, Garlick has the authority to send residents to a facility for mental evaluation for up to 72 hours if they exhibit dangerous or disruptive behavior to themselves or others, such as trying to commit suicide or trespassing in residences.
"It would have been better logistically in Anniston," Garlick said. "But it won't be too much of an issue."
Martin also did not have a problem with the facility's location in Alexandria.
"I don't foresee a problem with it not being in the city of Anniston," she said.

White Jello Cake
It's true that with ingredients like Jello and Cool Whip, this cake may not be the most sophisticated or gourmet, but it definitely is refreshing and a delicious summer treat! When I first started to bake, this was one of my staples. In fact, many of you may have had this as kids. I think it was sort of a classic back in the day (along with Spam) It comes out perfect every time, and I love the simpleness of it:
White Jello Cake
First you'll need to make the cake. You can use any white cake mix, but I much prefer a made-from-scratch recipe. It's so easy and really moist. I love it simply on it's own.
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/8 t. salt
1/2 c. shortening (can also use butter, but the cake will turn out whiter if you use shortening)
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
4 egg whites
1 1/3 c. buttermilk (or sour milk)
Grease and flour your cakepan. Stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In large mixing bowl, beat shortening on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat until well combined. It'll look like this:
Next, add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each:
Next add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately to the shortening mixture. Beat on low speed after each addition just until combined (don't overbeat). Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes:
Cool for 15 minutes. Poke holes in the cake with a fork, like this:
Boil one cup of water and add it to one package of strawberry jello. Mix with a whisk for 2 minutes. Pour the hot jello evenly over the cake:
Refrigerate for 3 hours. Top with Cool Whip and strawberries. You can use any flavor jello. The kids will surely love this one, especially if you tint the frosting and add sprinkles!
I spent most of the day over at my dear friend Mary's house, canning fresh garden green beans. I can't wait to have a pantry full of canned goods! It's definitely a great way to be thrifty. I'm so glad that some of you have left me some "thrifty" tips, and I'm definitely going to use them. Please keep them coming! Sometimes something sounds so simple, yet it's just something that hasn't occured to you.

This looks like the perfect dessert for tonight....cool, colorful and refreshing. I always forget about the simple recipes I love so much. This is one of them. I haven't made it in several years. Shame on me! I'm going to make it right now. Thanks for your great blog! You are inspiring and delightful! It's so nice to connect with you again.

This has always been one of my favorites. Not only is it delicious, but it's so fun to poke the holes in it! We always called it a Jello Poke Cake. I think it was one of the first cakes I ever made, too.

I remember that cake. It's very similar to a cake that my mom used to make for my birthday, I think she used lemon jello, and then made some sort of glaze with powdered sugar, poured it on top and then put the cake under the broiler for a few minutes. Thanks for sharing another wonderful recipe. I'll have to make it before the strawberries are gone.

Maybe I'm too young, but I've never had this cake. It looks great! Yummmmo!

Another recipe my mom made! She made 2 round layers, sometimes with 2 different jello types. Always frosted with cool whip! A great summer dessert! Kerilou

Four anglers were pulled from the icy waters of Lake Simcoe this past weekend after a dramatic rescue involving emergency crews from both sides of Cook's Bay.
Georgina Fire Chief Steve Richardson confirmed members with the department's air boat team and the York Regional Police marine unit rescued four stranded anglers who fell though the ice on Lake Simcoe about 500 metres off Shore Acres in Gilford just before 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12.
Georgina Fire Services assisted with the call, which involved Innisfil Fire, South Simcoe Police, EMS and an air ambulance.
Four people were treated at the scene, including one of the rescuers who fell through the ice while attempting to assist the four persons aboard the air boat.
One of the anglers was transported to Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie and treated for exposure.
Ice conditions are dangerous and people are reminded to stay off the ice and not risk their lives or those of emergency responders, added Chief Richardson.

Men are, in fact, pigs.
That's the snap conclusion from a quick glance at a newly published UNL study — a study that used eye-tracking technology and duly recorded members of the male species ogling a woman's body twice as much as they looked at the woman's face.
This was, in fact, my snap conclusion after I read the Internet headlines, my tidy little column idea as I dialed the phone numbers of the UNL psychology professors who did the study.
They listened to my tidy little conclusion and politely pointed out that, in the exact same study, women were shown to ogle women's bodies nearly as much as men did.
To repeat: The study found that women stare at women's breasts and women's hips almost exactly as long as men do.
Say what, scientists?
"Women are doing this to women, as well. That is what's surprising," agrees Sarah Gervais, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor who has done years of research on the "objectifying gaze" and how it affects women.
Michael Dodd, the other UNL professor who did the study, expressed this thought more academically.
"Everybody is a pig!" he yelled, only half-jokingly, into the phone.
The study, in which 65 UNL students donned the Eyelink II eyeball tracking system — seriously, that is what it's called — and looked at a series of female images flashed onto a screen, actually has two far more fascinating conclusions than my fine colleagues at Jezebel and USA Today and the New York Daily News passed around the Internet Tuesday afternoon.
One conclusion is depressing. Women are objectified by both sexes. This builds upon Gervais' previous research that shows we all tend to see men as whole people and women as a collection of body parts.
And the second is more hopeful. The study shows that, with a slight tweak in instructions, both men and women will spend more time staring into a woman's eyes and less at her curves.
It suggests that our leering behavior — and the resulting objectification — isn't hardwired into us. It suggests we can change.
"People can stop doing this if they so desire," Gervais says.
In the study, half of the 65 students were asked to rate a woman's appearance. They put the eye-tracking glasses on, sat alone in a room and watched a series of three-second images. These three-second images were all of the same woman, wearing nondescript jeans and a T-shirt.
But in some of the images, the woman had bigger breasts, enlarged in Photoshop. In some she had smaller hips. In some, she was curvy. In some, she was not.
The research subjects, both men and women, stared at the woman's face for about 35 percent of the allotted time. They concentrated on the chest about 15 percent of the time. The waist: 10 or so percent. The rest of the time they glanced at her hips, her legs, her stomach.
Total, the students looked at the woman's face roughly a third of the time and her body roughly two-thirds of the time.
|OWH Columnists
|Columnists Michael Kelly, Erin Grace and Matthew Hansen write about people, places and events around Omaha. Read more of their work here.
More creepily still, when the images flashed onto the screen, some of the students actually didn't start by looking at the woman's face.
They started by looking at her breasts. They started with the breasts even though they knew they were wearing eyeball-tracking technology.
Which raises the creepiest question: Where do we stare when our eyeballs aren't being tracked?
"I don't think people are aware of the degree to which we actually do this in your everyday lives," Dodd said. "It's ubiquitous."
This objectification of the female body has implications far beyond the actual staring. We tend to view women we objectify as less intelligent, less competent, less able to do their jobs, research shows.
In other words, when we view women as objects, we tend to treat them as objects, too.
All this leering, from both men and women, may have some basis in evolutionary biology, Dodd says. The men in the study may be looking at a woman's curves because, like our piggish ancestors, we are predisposed to look for a ideal child-bearing mate.
And the women in the study may be looking at those same curves to compare and contrast themselves with the caveman's other potential mates.
But it's fair to assume that, layered on top of that ancient history, is a whole lot of learned behavior. Eons of education and countless beer commercials have taught us it's OK to leer.
Which is why the second part of the UNL study — the part that Internet headlines like "Depressing Study: Men Look More At Your Body Than Your Face" ignored — is so important.
Half of the 65 students were not asked to rate the woman's appearance. Instead, they were asked to rate her personality.
They stared at the woman's face more than half of the time. They focused on the breasts and the waists for only a couple of milliseconds.
This is important, the professors think, because it shows that with one tweak of the human brain — the instruction to care about personality instead of hotness — the behavior of the students changed. It suggests that we aren't completely predisposed to ogle women. It suggests that all of us, male and female, can learn another way.
I asked Dodd, the male half of the research duo, if he had learned anything about his own gaze during the project.
"Yes," he said immediately.
He began to notice more when his eyeballs wandered. He became conscious of what had sometimes previously been a subconscious act.
And he really started to think about what it meant when we fix our gaze on the breasts or the moneymaker instead of the face. He started to think about all the sexism, both obvious and subtle, that followed from that initial look-see.
"It makes you want to treat people more equally," he said, sounding very much not like a swine.

There is a recent trend of thieves breaking down doors and entering homes in order to steal women´s handbags. It happened to my 77 year old mother.Ladies, do not carry anything in your purse that you don´t absolutely need. I currently carry only my license, 1 credit card, and my AAA card. I also specifically requested that my debit card not be a VISA or Mastercard. If you do have a card with either of those logos, thieves can access your banking account and clear you out by "charging" on your debit card. They do not need a PIN to use one of those cards! NEVER carry your Social Security card in your purse.I also make a copy of everything in my wallet and hide it somewhere in my house where I can access it if I need to. Make sure to copy both the front and back of everything.When you´re at the supermarket, use the child "seatbelts" to secure your purse. Keep it zipped so no one can grab anything out of it. If someone tries to do a snatch and run they´ll have to drag your entire cart of groceries with them. This is particularly effective with stopping the thieves that like to ride around parking lots on bicycles.I never thought this would be a problem but my mother´s door was kicked open because the thief could see her purse sitting on a chair inside the house. Never leave your purse in plain sight! Find a place that´s convenient for you, that can´t be seen from any window. Also, never leave your purse in plain sight while in your car. I shove mine under the passenger seat, or put it on the back floorboard and cover it with an old pet blanket.

A couple of weeks ago, I was in admissions for a routine blood test. I was asked for my insurance cards. I asked why since they´ve been the same for years. Answer: Because of medical insurance card thefts by others to get free medical care. I was told that people will do anything to get something for free. I guess that´s why Barry got reelected...freebies.

The Virginia State Board of Elections busted a rumor Friday. Unknown callers are giving Virginia voters false information.
These unidentified people are calling Virginia voters, especially seniors, telling them they can vote over the phone.
They are not sure how widespread the calls have been but complaints have been called in for the past few days. The Albemarle County Registrar wants to make it clear to city and county voters that this is not true.
"You cannot vote in Virginia by telephone, you cannot vote in Virginia by email, you cannot vote in Virginia by fax," said Jake Washburne of the Albemarle County Registrar. "You have to be registered to vote either in your precinct on election day or vote by absentee ballot."
Washburne said even though you can call in your vote for Dancing With the Stars, you cannot vote for the President of the United States over the telephone.
Monday, October 16th at 5 p.m. is the deadline to register to vote.

A business is illegal if it violates the uses established by our Land Use Code — such as a restaurant that operates in a space only designated for retail — or doesn't follow our rules for noise, outdoor storage, hours of operation, and other rules.
An illegal business is not a home business, medical marijuana dispensary or collective garden, or a street food cart or truck. We allow these businesses if they follow our rules.
An illegal business is not one operating without a business license. For businesses suspected of operating without a license, contact the Department of Finance and Administrative Services which issues them.
To operate your business legally and comply with our Land Use Code and other rules, you should:
Operate your business in a building where we allow that business. Our Land Use Code divides the city into residential, commercial, industrial, and other zones; we allow only certain types of business in some zones and restrict the operations of business in many zones.
Get a land use / master use – establish a use permit. If you open a business on a site where a different kind of business had operated (for example, a restaurant opening in a former retail store), you need to get a construction permit – establishing use in addition to construction, electrical, and other permits that we may also require.
If your business has been open for a long time in the same building and its use was legal at the time it began, we may consider your business to be legal as a nonconforming use even if our Land Use Code would now no longer allow it. If we consider your business a nonconforming use, you do not need to get a permit to establish use. However, if we get a complaint about your building's physical condition, structural integrity, or ability to hold the number of customers your business attracts, we will require you to get a permit to establish use.
Conduct your business in accordance with our rules about noise, storage, hours of operation, fire, and other rules. For example, we require a buffer from nearby properties if your business is in a residential area. We require noisy business activities to be conducted only inside your building. We also limit the operation of home businesses in residential zones to reduce their impact on surrounding homes. If customers visit your business, you may need a certificate of occupancy establishing the assembly load for the location.
We may fine business owners $150 to $500 per day. We will also charge the owner for inspections.

My room was large – the largest I had stayed in -- and comfortable with lemon colored linen; unquestionably four-star with all amenities including the marble bathroom, a huge tub, and tons of bath towels. Like most other four star hotels, all incidentals are quite dear, so I didn't use the phone, the minibar, or internet access.
There is space in the minibar for your own stuff and it doesn't have sensors. The front desk staff was helpful and there's a huge dish of Toblerone candies waiting to greet you.
There were two to three inexpensive restaurants on the same street (rue de Parnasse), two Asian, and one café (Sel et Poivre, which had very reasonable menu prices) that I would have tried had there been time. I couldn't have been happier. It was a great, luxurious spot to work, rest, and decompress before my flight home.

We were lucky enough to stay in this beautiful four-star hotel that had just been renovated--and it showed. Renaissance moved into the building in 2001. It was modern and luxurious in all aspects. It is located in the Quartier Leopold near the European Parliament and the Palais Royale and only a few minutes from the nearest subway stop--Troon. It was, in fact, the first luxury hotel to be located near the European Parliament.
Our room was very tastefully decorated and it was spacious and spotless. The bathroom was spacious and clean and the towels were fluffy (always a bonus with me!) The room also had all of those extra amenities such as trouser press, ironing board, hairdryer, working desk, etc.
Once again, we purchased this room using Priceline.com for just under $100 -- I think the average rate is about 200 euros per night.
We were very comfortable in this hotel and room. We had a street view which wasn't too bad considering there wasn't much of a view from anywhere in the hotel. It is in a convenient location being close to a Metro line. It is also very close to those of you who need to attend the European Parliament!
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who visits Brussels for its quiet and very convenient location. It is really a beautiful hotel and well worth the money spent.

The win by the visiting Bobcats in their season-opening game ended JMU's home winning streak at nine games. JMU dropped to 0-2 after losing its second game in three days.
The loss ended JMU's home winning streak at nine games. The Dukes had not lost at home since falling 72-65 to #15/16 Delaware (72-65) on Jan. 29, 2012.
JMU's last home loss to an unranked team was to Drexel (60-43) on Jan. 12, 2012, and the Dukes' last home loss to an unranked non-conference opponent was to Hampton (69-64) in JMU's 2010-11 season-opener on Nov. 12, 2010.
Senior guard Felicia Barron (Springfield, Mass./Central) led Quinnipiac with 23 points, and sophomore forward/center Samantha Guastella (Red Bank N.J./Red Bank Catholic) and junior forward Brittany McQuain (Independence, Mo./William Chrisman) each recorded double-doubles. Guastella had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and McQuain contributed 10 points and 10 rebounds.
JMU was led by junior guard Kirby Burkholder (Bridgewater, Va./Turner Ashby) with 24 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. Also in double figures was senior guard Tarik Hislop (Silver Spring, Md./Paint Branch) with 16.
JMU was up by seven (27-20) at halftime and held a 33-24 lead with 17:50 on the clock. The Bobcats, however, ran off nine straight points, four of them by sophomore guard Jasmine Martin (Slicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek), to tie the game at 33 with 15:49 left.
After a JMU free throw put the Dukes ahead 34-33, Barron scored on back-to-back three-point plays as Quinnipiac went in front of JMU for the first time since the Bobcats led 7-6 at the 10:55 mark of the first half. Barron's second three-point play at 12:52 put her team ahead 39-34.
A short jumper by Hislop and a runner in the lane by redshirt senior guard Jasmine Gill (Greensboro, N.C./Page) got the Dukes within one, 39-38, at 12:12.
However, Quinnipiac responded with a 14-4 scoring run to pull out to an 11-point (53-42) lead with 6:00 to play. The Bobcats started the run with eight unanswered points, beginning with a jumper by McQuain at 11:53. McQuain also scored the final six points of the run on a 10-foot jumper, a put-back on a rebound and two free throws.
The Dukes were able to close the gap to three twice (55-52 at 2:33 and 57-54 at 1:37) but could get no closer.
0-2 Start Rare for Dukes: This marks the first time JMU has lost its first two games of the season under 11th-year head coach Kenny Brooks. The last time JMU lost its first two contests was in 2002-03. Bud Childers was the coach for JMU's first three games that year, then Kenny Brooks became an interim coach while Childers was on medical leave.
Back-to-Back 20+ Points Junior guard Kirby Burkholder has scored 20 or more points in back-to-back games, and this marks the first time in her career that that has happened. She scored 26 points (one under her career high) on Nov. 9 at Virginia and 24 points today vs. Quinnipiac on Nov. 11.
JMU Career Lists: Senior guard Tarik Hislop has 359 free throws and has moved from seventh to fifth. Junior guard Kirby Burkholder moved into the top 10 for three-pointers. She is ninth with 102.
First Start for Shepherd Since 2010: Redshirt senior forward Kanita Shepherd started for the Dukes for the first time since being in JMU's starting lineup vs. Iowa on Nov. 25, 2010. She suffered a knee injury nine games into the 2010-11 season and saw her first game action since Dec. 12, 2010 (at Middle Tennessee State), when she came off the bench to play 25 minutes at Virginia on Nov. 9.

Fresh off her controversial "twerking" performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, Miley Cyrus went for something even more offensive -- wearing a cut-up Michael Jordan jersey as a bikini.
Messing with Robin Thicke is one thing, but messing with Air Jordan? Chicago won't stand for that.
This is only the latest desecration of a Chicago sports icon. Remember Justin Bieber standing on top of the Blackhawks logo, violating decades of hockey tradition? We posted the photo in July and Hawks fans went nuts.

April 25, 2014
Former Charlottesville City Council candidate James Halfaday was back in court today.
Halfaday appeared in court after being charged with violating his parole, where he was accused of sending a threatening email to his former domestic partner.
In early October, Halfaday was ordered to not have any contact with his former domestic partner as part of his probation on charges of election fraud.
A few weeks later, prosecutors said Halfaday uploaded a 13 minute tribute to his dead cat onto YouTube, where he claimed his former partner had a role in the animals' death.
Prosecutors say Halfaday also sent an email to his former partner in early January which led to the violation of his parole.
For now, Halfaday will remain in jail, where he's been since his arrest nearly a month ago.
Halfaday has asked the court for permission to move to Illinois, where his mother lives.
He will likely be held in the Albemarle -Charlottesville regional jail until that move is finalized.
We're told that could take several months.

Hip-Hop artist Lil' Wayne was released from Rikers Island on Thursday morning, after serving eight months there for having a gun on a tour bus. While in jail, Lil' Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter, Jr. became the first artist in 15 years to have an album (I Am Not a Human Being) hit No. 1 on Billboard 200 while still behind bars.
On Wednesday, WNYC's Culture team checked in with New Yorkers to see what they thought about "Weezy" getting out of jail. Fans had hoped that Lil' Wayne would perform at a prison-release party this week at Madison Square Garden. But his label is reportedly planning a homecoming celebration in Miami. What do you think about Lil' Wayne getting out of jail? Let us know by posting a comment below.

Good but not great – I have been here twice for lunch. It gets busy during the luch hour because of their location. The service is ok, and the salads are good. The first time I ordered the chicken, I thought it was very good. However, the last time I ordered the same chicken dish, it was a bit greasy & did not taste the same. I may go there again a 3rd time just to make sure.
Yeah, not so much – I really wanted to love this place. I had been promising myself to try it out for the last two years. Now, I wish that I had not gone.
I have been 3 times as I think it is unfair to judge a place on one visit or one dish. The salads are fresh and really good, but the chicken is just plain greasy and there is some sort of 'spice' or 'herb' that leaves an 'off' taste in our mouths.
If you work near a SCC, it is a great place to grab a light salad lunch. But, I would not go out of my way to get there nor do I suggest the chicken.
Poor quality – I agree with the last reviewer. The quality of the food just was not up to par. The portions were large, while the flavor was forgettable. While the place is not expensive, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere.
Terrible – This place is absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.
Prices are outrageous for what you're getting; they basically charge you sit-down restaurant prices for fast-food quality.
I had heard mixed reviews so my wife & I decided to try it out... that was a mistake.
WAY over-rated and over-priced. Stay away.
Check it out. – Can't beat this place for value. Sonoma Chicken Coop lives up to its claim to fame: quality, inexpensive food. The menu has a wide variety of salads, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, pastas, you name it. I've been here a handful of times for that very reason, there is always something for all. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. For the nights there are heated lamps and The live band is definitely a nice touch. If you're a pizza lover I highly recommend the bbq chicken pizza.
glorified cateferia food – for what you pay, i would rather go and get a burrito then eat here again. even when my boyfriends company christmas party was held here and it was all paid for, i groaned at the thought of eating here once more. dont get me wrong, i really did try and wanted to like it so bad! i tried the salad, the chicken, and the calamari. and the calamari made me sick! if you're a true foody, love great food, then dont go here. we live in the bay area and we are so lucky to have so many amazing GREAT restaurants, so go to one of those instead. this place is dog food.
OUTSTANDING! THEY HAVE LOWERED THEIR PRICES!!! – I've been a long time fan of Sonoma Chicken Coop, both the San Jose and Campbell locations and now the newly completed Almaden location. I've watched this small family run operation grow from the "quiet" (at night) downtown eatery to astonishingly impressive force that it is today. What impresses me the most about this operation is that they have managed to maintain the absolute utmost quality with their unprecedented growth. Yeah of course, I've had the occasional mistake at this restaurant, my chicken at one point has been mildly cold, upon my return to the counter, with ANY mistake, there has always been a very and when I mean very I mean VERY helpful counterperson to help me with any thing that I've ever needed. I have to say I was a bit miffed when "THE COOP" raised their prices at night, however after my visit tonight I was happily surprised to find out from the manager that the COOP HAD LOWERED THEIR PRICES back to their original point!!! The manager I spoke with was just as happy about the decision to lower as I was; she had said the increase had slowed the night time business down so the owners decided it best to take them back down....
I have to say BRAVO SONOMA CHICKEN COOP, you still rock!!!!
E Coli Anyone? – This restaurant chain is so bad! There is a reason why the food is so cheap. If you don't have taste buds and enjoy getting sick then this is the place for you. Unfortunately I have had to eat here and the Campbell location and they are both horrible. Only eat here if you need to lose weight fast and aren't lucky enough to catch a stomach flu.
Great Food... FOR YOUR DOG! – Based on the recommendations we decided to try this place. We were hugely disappointed. The food was very greasy, but don't get me wrong I enjoy to splurge every once in a while, but if I do it should at the very least taste good. I ordered the ribs and my husband had the steak. The ribs were NOT good at all flavorless and skimpy on the meat, but don't get me wrong, I did have a pile of bones to "enjoy", but not much meat and it was pretty tough. The steak my husband ordered was rubber. The bill was almost $35 for bad food BUT there's more you "get" to take your own food to the table. One positive was my dog had a field day with the ribs, so I guess you could say EXCELLENT dog food. There are so many other places you can go for reasonably priced food. SKIP THIS ONE!
Excellent and Inexpensive Food – This place is my new favorite restaurant. They have great food. Their Walnut Chicken Salad is my favorite. If you like a place that will fit everyone's taste, this is the place to go. Don't be put off by the long lines. They are very fast and you'll be sitting with your food before you know it. There's one in downtown Campbell as well, it's a little larger with more indoor seating but you can't beat the patio seating at the San Pedro Square location.

Animal Collective, a four-man band based in New York City, has never seemed particularly interested in comfort or clarity. The group's new album, "Strawberry Jam," which was released last month, has been described as more "melodic" and "coherent" than its previous seven albums. This is more or less true, but you are likely to be frustrated if you expect to hear lots of songs with distinct verses and choruses. Those who have little appetite for chaos might ease their way into the world of Animal Collective by listening to "Person Pitch," a shimmering collection of songs by Panda Bear, one of the band's two singers, which could be demos by Brian Wilson that have been cut up and rearranged. Animal Collective defies predictability, and is routinely called "avant-garde" and "psychedelic," even though the music is not particularly confrontational and the lyrics can be concrete. (Any hardworking city dweller will understand the insight, from "Peacebone," a song on "Strawberry Jam," that "the other side of takeout is mildew on rice.") The band specializes in moments when one noise collides with another, creating music that might be impossible to make intentionally. When the sound catches the light, the flash is so brilliant that you don't mind the absence of more conventional pleasures.
I first heard the band in 2000, when it was a duo called Avey Tare and Panda Bear. (Names are another convention that Animal Collective toys with: each of the band's members goes by an alias, and they have collaborated with one another, in groupings of different sizes, under various titles. In 2002, the musicians settled on the name Animal Collective, much to the relief of record-store sales staff everywhere.) An employee of Other Music, a boutique store in downtown Manhattan, handed me a CD by the duo called "Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Vanished." It came in a silk-screened black paper sleeve, and the music sounded improvised, though nothing like jazz or anything else that I could imagine being performed live. Synthesizers were manipulated and made to honk, guitars were scratched (with what, I couldn't tell), and drumbeats fell here and there. The vocals were painfully high-pitched and reminded me a bit too much of free time in an echoey third-grade classroom. Yet the album bristled with sonic color and motion; it was as though I was listening to the musical equivalent of a painting by de Kooning, who could trigger a riot of associations with a few deft strokes, a hatching of pink, and some blank space.
Avey Tare (Dave Portner) and Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) had been collaborating since high school with two other musicians, Geologist (Brian Weitz) and Deakin (Josh Dibb), who eventually joined the band. The group's two most recent albums, "Sung Tongs" and "Feels," were well received and helped Animal Collective gain an audience that is surprisingly large, given that the band doesn't give you much to sing (or even hum) along to, and that it is not always clear where one song ends and another begins. Is that sound of a bell being assaulted by a fork—I'm guessing here—just the introduction? Or is it the point of the song? Will there be actual singing, or only this looping growl? Or, wait, maybe that growl is not a human voice at all, but rather the headstock of a guitar being massaged to produce a flicker of feedback.
After "Feels" was released, in 2005, the band developed the kind of ardent following associated with the Grateful Dead or, more recently, Radiohead; audience recordings of the band's performances are posted on the Internet soon after each show. In June, the band appeared before a crowd of three thousand, on an outdoor stage at the South Street Seaport. Deakin was absent (he's taking the year off), and, to my surprise, the band, instead of performing songs from "Strawberry Jam"—the entire album was leaked online later that month—played mostly unrecorded material and songs from its back catalogue. But the fans seemed unfazed. Evidently, they had been downloading recordings of previous live shows; many seemed to know even the new pieces by name.
The band's performance last month at Webster Hall was equally idiosyncratic. It began with an unusual but delightful d.j. set of what might loosely be described as dance music. Green and white laser beams raked the crowd, and the bass frequencies were turned up high, causing the floor to vibrate gently. The most arresting piece was ten minutes long. Anchored by a steady kick drum, it featured a cantering horn section playing what could have been a fragment from a ska record, and, every few minutes, what appeared to be a recording of a jet plane taking off. The sound would grow louder, almost to the point of causing pain, and then abruptly disappear, each time to huge cheers.
The band performed in front of a bank of vertical light boards, which flashed the colors of the rainbow. Geologist, who is bearded, stood stage right, wearing a caving headlamp and surrounded by electronic equipment; to his left stood Avey Tare, who is dark-haired and boyishly handsome and was wearing a striped rugby shirt. Panda Bear stood stage left, in front of another console of knobs and next to a few drums. The band was flanked by two skeletons dressed in frilly ball gowns. The music began with a strong pulse and the thicket of noise that is Animal Collective's signature sound: whooshes, screams, and a shifting cascade of acoustic effects.
Avey Tare started to dance—hopping on one leg and slowly completing a circle that took him to the rear of the stage and back to the front—and then to sing, his voice, electronically altered so that it was several octaves lower than normal, registering as a monstrous flop of sound. Avey Tare is less mellifluous than Panda Bear; his singing consists mostly of high-spirited hectoring, though he occasionally breaks into falsetto. Yet the music was crackling and bright, grounded by a low thrum. Animal Collective's most faithful fans may have recognized some of the songs, but, though I had listened to the albums and the recent live recordings, I was stumped.

those brush strokes! :o great style man keep it up!
Thank You Kevin_ !
Doodling while there is some
Nice sketches man! Would like to see you work a bit more on some of them. Keep it up.
great potential in these speed works mate!!! Interesting compositions. As you keep up with refining these (at least at the focal areas) they will look very very good. This type of loose works, on which someone can find interesting points, seem to become great pieces.
keep up the good work
Wow guys thanks a lot! really helpful! I will try to go further in my painting because yeah, I stop too early :-)
There is one for tonight, inspired by Jaime Jones
That last image is rad- keep it up.
Looking for Feedback! Please visit my sketchbook..
Thanks Kambei
well here is a second and the last for tonight

Nice updates man that Jamie Jones inspired sketch is great, loving the mood you gave to the last one, keep it up!
Nice sketchbook, I really like your thread paiting, seeing all the brush strokes is cool.
Thank you guys
Here is 2 master studies and 2 from imagination
hey there! it's been a while im really busy with school etc =( need to draw and paint more more more moooooore (especially lighting, I'm reaaaallly bad at)
Here are 2 new things
and an 1 month old
Nice start on the concept art studies! You've got a smooth hand and are not overdoing anything. The last image in #42 is a favourite and the sketches in #4 is also great. You've got a good eye of where to put the light. I don't have any advice really, more than keep on woking! You're doing very good!
Thank you Greenhouse for the kind words here is one new thing
Hey guys
I love your stuff!
Shame most of it are sketches. Would love to see a deailed digital painting.
Also, I am not a newbie artist, but I can see you use quite a lot of custom brushes and textures in your landscapes. I might be wrong, but it is important to be able to create stff using standart brushes, so you know how stuff works.
awesomely painterly work in here! love the gorilla a few posts back!
great brush-strokes, can definitely see some cicinimo in there, and i mean that as a compliment!
awesome sketches, i can't think of any constructive criticism right now
Really nice atmosphere in your paintings. I would perhaps pay a bit more attention to your compositions, because several seem a bit unbalanced, for example the gorilla one. But otherwise you're doing great! Keep it up!
Sketchbook! //
Blog // Education
The dragon one is cool, i'd be curious to see something more "finished" in your work, see to what level you can push the details.
wow your brush work is lovely, I noticed the Jaime Jones influence in post #39 before I even read it. Really nice colours and texture in the environments, its not far from what I'm aiming for.
Keep posting! and more frequently if you can.
Woow Thanks for passing by guys!
Euphe : Thanks ! Yes most of it are sketches because I'm focusing on basics most of the time that doesn't require to be detailed but yes I will do some finished piece And yeah you're totally right with the standard brushes thing!
Flaskpost : Wow what a compliment Thanks dude!
DaevidK : Thank you
Medelo : Hey thank you very much..now I see that the gorilla piece is very unbalanced I will be careful with that
Orkimede : Thanks Orki :p Yep I will do finished paintings. It will be cool for me too to see what I can do
JoeS : Thanks man, I really appreciate I will try to post more but school things takes me a lot of time :/
Here is some recent (again.. :>) Sketches in Zbrush, head study with more hard brushes than usually and a ship landscape whatever it is ^^

According to a recent National Retail Federation survey, this year more Americans plan to save -- not spend -- their tax refunds than any year in the survey's nine-year history. The survey found 43.8 percent of those expecting refunds will stash some of their cash in savings, up from 42.1 percent last year. If you're fortunate enough to receive a tax return this year, consider following suit and putting it in savings. Here are some other financially smart uses for your tax return.
